What does engine braking mean? What does parking brake mean?
1 Answers
Engine braking refers to: lifting the throttle pedal without depressing the clutch, using the compression resistance, internal friction, and intake/exhaust resistance generated by the engine's compression stroke to form a braking effect on the drive wheels. Parking brake refers to the handbrake, whose professional term is auxiliary brake. Unlike the principle of the service brake, it uses a steel cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the vehicle. The function of the engine is to convert thermal energy into mechanical energy by burning and expanding gas in a sealed cylinder, pushing the piston to do work, thereby providing power for the vehicle. The maintenance methods for the engine include: 1. Cleaning the air filter; 2. Removing sludge from the throttle valve; 3. Cleaning carbon deposits from the fuel injectors.
